RELAUNCHED!

Hi Friends!!
So SURPRISE!  My youtube channel is officially relaunched!
Today I’m partnering today’s post with my video, which is a get ready with me!  
Find out how I feel about the products I used down below.  If you haven’t yet, be sure to subscribe to my channel!  This is going to be a really fun new journey.  In the next few days I’ll be launching a new vlog channel as well, so stay tuned for that!

WHAT I USED:

  • monistat chafing gel.  Yeah.  I know.  But it’s a perfect dupe for the smashbox photofinish primer and a freaking fraction of the cost.  Works wonderfully.
  • covergirl ready, set, gorgeous foundation.  This stuff is amazing.  I’m not usually a fan of covergirl foundation (they tend to be heavy and break me out).  The coverage on this is amazing.  The finish is a perfectly “matte” look without looking gross.  And it don’t feel like I’m wearing anything.  And I’m super picky about that.
  • physicians formula conceal RX. I’ve used this stuff forever.  It does okay.  I’m interested in trying others though.  Recommendations?
  • rimmel match perfection.  This stuff works great for me as an under eye concealer.  I know I should probably use a salmon colored concealer to counteract the dark circles, but I like this stuff for what it is. And it’s cheap.
  • rimmel stay matte powder.  This is my favorite powder. Light but does it’s job!  And again, cheap.
  • nyc smooth skin blonzer in sunny.  This is a holy grail product and only a few dollars.  Love it to warm up the face.
  • wnw pearlescent pink blush.  A favorite!  Again, only a couple dollars and just so pretty!
  • bare minerals highlight in radiance. Such a pretty and subtle highlight!
  • urban decay primer potion.  Total favorite.
  • coastal scents revealed palette. This palette is only $19 and has perfect dupes for the shadows in both the Naked and Naked 2 palettes.  I’m not kidding.  Absolutely perfect.  I used this for my bottom liner, my eyebrow fill in, and my shadows.
  • jordana 12 hour liquid eyeliner pencil in black.  I tightlined with this.  Don’t let the 12 hour fool you.  It does smudge on me.
  • jordana 12 hour made to last chubby pencil in continuous almond.  I like this in my waterline to look more awake.  Not really sold on the staying power though.
  • wnw megalength mascara.  I’ve told you before I was totally shocked by this mascara.  It’s really pretty, the formula is perfect and it doesn’t flake or smudge on me!  $2.99 y’all!!

  9. Ooooooooh, makeup! I'm a makeup junkie, and probably spend far too much money on sparkly eye shadows. You look fantastic, can't wait to watch the video and hear your voice! It's like we'll be in the same room

  10. Your voice is nothing like I expected! You sound similar to one of my best friends (and you also look alike, too!) so it's making me laugh! Great job sweet girl!

  11. You have mad make up skills. I cannot lie, I use eye shadow and mascara, and occasionally and under-eye cream but foundation?!??! How the heck does that even work!!?!? I love that I know how you talk now, although I think I was expecting a Texas accent (not sure why!??!) but you sound as happy as I thought you would 🙂

  12. LOVE using the Monistat chafing gel! It is fabulous! And way cheaper than anything name brand. 🙂 I'm going to have to check out that under eye concealer. I don't use anything right now but probably should, ha!
    And I don't think your voice is annoying girl. 🙂 OH! And you are crazy good at makeup. I need to watch this video like 10 more times.
